REFLECTING ON MAYWEATHER'S RETIREMENT... by Frank Gonzalez Jr.

As we’ve heard by now, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is retiring from boxing again. Most of us are sure he’ll be back. The question is when? The answer is simple; when it’s safe to come back. This is not about love or hate. This is about logically assessing the value of a fighter who was crowned the best in the business. 
When it comes to the sweet science, Floyd is undeniably talented. He has fast hands, slick defensive skills and very accurate punching, which translates into power. But Floyd retiring now, in his prime, is no real mystery, considering the current reality.

'MONEY' MAYWEATHER: "I JUST CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE..."

It is with a heavy heart that I write you this message today. I have decided to permanently retire from boxing. This decision was not an easy one for me to make as boxing is all I have done since I was a child. However, these past few years have been extremely difficult for me to find the desire and joy to continue in the sport..."

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR., HERE WE GO AGAIN... by Tom Dickey
Remember the last time Floyd said he was going to retire? It was before his fight with De la Hoya, saying that he would retire after the fight. Yet something, likely money, drew him out of his prolonged retirement to fight Ricky Hatton. We've heard this too many times before, Floyd, so don't expect us to believe you.
